The provided text consists of excerpts from the third edition of Personalizing Evaluation by Saville Kushner, a theorist who advocates for a humanist approach to social program assessment. Kushner argues against the "industrialization" of evaluation, proposing instead a "humanist switch" where programs are studied as they fit into people's lives rather than how individuals fit into programs. The author draws extensive parallels between modern evaluation and Renaissance art, suggesting that both use narrative and perspective to challenge authority and elevate individual experience. By referencing figures like Dante, Leonardo da Vinci, and Caravaggio, Kushner illustrates how documenting the "human condition"—including themes of mortality, struggle, and love—is essential for valid and ethical research. He promotes Democratic Evaluation, a model where the evaluator acts as an impartial broker of information to encourage public debate and social justice. Ultimately, the source serves as a philosophical and methodological guide for prioritizing individualism and personalization over bureaucratic standardization in the social sciences.
